Green and Yellow?

You'll look like an European traffic pylon.

Guess that's better than our pumpkin suits.

I have the solution, ladies and gentlemen.... something VERY distinct that would definitely set us apart in the medical field! I can guarantee you no other EMS is wearing this...

LMAO! Look, they were thinking of us!!!

They can sew little wanker pockets into them! Maybe even some hot pink reflective stripes for our wanker friends to the north!

Black boots, black dickies pants/EMS pants/ETC, green polo shirt. For what ever reason, I've always associated green with medical [ok, the college volunteer group at the hospital wore green polo shirts and the hospital's color code for scrubs had green reserved for physicians (gray/maroon was for CNAs and blue was for RNs)]. It gets us away from the paramilitary look of the dark colored uniforms that police and fire uses. It also gives EMS it's own color [PR anyone?] since red is already associated with the fire department and blue is associated with the police department.

As for the color green, green is the "international color" for medical aide. Most Canadian and Euro uniforms I have seen are some combination of green yellow and white.

Except for the coasts (BC and NS, who wear white over navy), almost every Canadian system I have ever seen wore solid navy blue, top and bottom, just like the cops, except for the reflective striping. There are a few privates in Alberta doing some weird combinations (Grande Prairie and their Barney purple jumpsuits, for instance), but I have not seen green anywhere in Canadia. I'm certainly not opposed to it, though.

Perhaps to be addressed in a different string, but, once we have the "work uniform" designed, what are we going to do for the "Class 'A' Dress Uniforms"?

Men wear suits and ties. Women nice professional dresses.

That makes uniforms? Perhaps in an office?

Do you see doctors wearing cop uniforms? We are healthcare professionals, we need to get rid of the cop / ff attitude and look.
